Kidney transplantation is associated with an increased risk of tumors in the urinary bladder. Among all the pathological types of tumors in the bladder, paraganglioma, which arises from extra-adrenal paraganglia and consists of chromaffin cells, is rare. Paragangliomas might cause severe clinical symptoms due to catecholamine hypersecretion or mass compression. Bladder paragangliomas are rare, especially those appearing after kidney transplantation. Here, we report a case of bladder paraganglioma developing after kidney transplantation.
